Parnass Tower, Observation tower in Plön, Germany

Built in 1888 by the Plön Tourist Association, the tower includes memorial panels with Iron Crosses commemorating the First Schleswig War and Franco-Prussian War.

The stone base contains three commemorative panels and a portrait relief of Emperor William I, reflecting the military history of Schleswig-Holstein.
